Abstract
A device for feeding products, e.g. soaps, from a manufacturing machine to a wrapping machine, and comprising a first and second conveyor belt cooperating with each other and powered at different speeds. The first conveyor belt presents a number of equally spaced supporting elements for respective soaps, having respective reaction elements designed to flank a first side of a respective soap. The second conveyor belt presents a number of equally spaced positioning elements, each designed to flank a second side of a respective soap opposite the first side. Each reaction element faces a respective positioning element and defines, with the same, a compartment for receiving a respective soap and the size of which, measured in the traveling direction of the first and second conveyor belt, is greater than that of the soaps at the point wherein the soaps are transferred into the compartments, and is gradually reduced until it substantially equals the size of the soaps at a point downstream from the transfer point.
